The Scottsbluff/Gering Seacats were at Omaha Westside over the weekend at a big meet that featured 12 girls teams and 10 boys teams. Both teams for the Seacats finished in ninth place.

Head coach Vanessa Woolsey said despite the tough competition it was another successful weekend for the team.

“The Westside Invitational was a challenging meet for our swimmers, however, we were able to walk away with some big victories. Our swimmers continued to take off time and get state qualifying times. We could not be prouder of their accomplishments at this meet!”
